Application filed August 26, 1914, Serial No. 858,762. Renewed September 13, 1916. Serial No. 119,981;

To all whom it may concern:

. Be it known that I, JOHN A. L. lVILsON, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVatseka, in the county of Iroquois and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Coal-Oil Burner, of which the following is a specification.

"The device forming the subject matter of this application is a burner adapted to be employed in connection with cook stoves and theburner being adapted to handle oil of a low grade, and to convert the same readily'into gas.

With the above and other objectsin view which will appear as the description proresides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 shows the invention in perspective" I Fig. 2 is a transverse section showing a portion of a stove in which the device formlng the subject matter of 'thisapplication has been mounted.

In the drawings the numeral 1 indicates a portion of the wall of a stove,.the fire bricks being shown at 2 and the numeral 3 indicating thegrate, construction.

In carrying out the present invention a face plate 7 which ordinarily replaces one of the stove doors (not shown) the face plate 7 being held in place by means of but tons 8 or any other structures adapted for s the ends in view. An air shaft ,9 stands approximately at right angles to the plate 7, the outer end of the air shaft 9 opening through the plate 7 as shown'atlO and the inner end of the air shaft being closed as in its top and adjacent' its which may be of any desired the fire bricks 2 is closed.

The invention includes a. U-shaped pipe,

one arm of which is denoted by the numeral 16. The outer end 16 of the arm 16 is open.' The arm 16 of the U-shaped pipe passes through the plate 7 and is supported therein, as shown at 17. The arm 16, outside of the face plate 7 carries a needle valve 18 of any desired construction, the fuel inlet being shown at 18*. The other arm'19 of the U- shaped pipe is supported upon the finger 15 and extends forwardly to a point adjacent the opening 12 in the air shaft 9, the extremity of the arm 19 carrying a burner head 20, disposed above the opening 12, the burner head 20 preferably being in the form of an elbow provided with perforations 21 and having its depending end closed by means of a plug 22 or the like.

In practical operation, the air shaft 9 rests on the layer 6 of ashes, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. Oil is admitted into the pipe 1619 by opening the valve 18.- The oil at first is consumed-at the perforations 21 in the head 20 and as the oil burns, the arm 16 of the U-shaped pipe is heated, thereby conplied through the medium of the air shaft 9 and its openings 12. s

The arm 16 of the U-shaped pipe slants downwardly as' it extends inwardly and there is fall enough to cause the oil to gravitate toward the head 20. Further, the suction of hot air up flue (not shown) of the stove wherewith the device is assembled, tends to draw the oil through the arms 16 and 19 of the pipe.

* Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. In a device of the class described, a face plate; an air shaft projecting from the face plate and provided with an opening; and a U-shaped pipe, one arm of which is mounted-in the face plate, the other arm of provided 'with a burnerhead located above the opening.

2. In a device of the class described, a face plate; an air shaft projecting from the faceplate; an armprojecting from the air shaft in substantial alinement with the shaft; a U-shaped pipe, one leg of which is supported upon the arm, the other leg of which is assembled with the face plate; and

a. bu 'ner'head upon the first specified leg,

the an shaft being provided with an ope'nmg located ad acent the burner head.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

- JOHN A. L. VILSON.
